Writing

"Just write!" I can't remember that professor's name. Junkins, I think. Pronounced Jenkins. He would implore us to forget about punctuation and spelling and just "get your IDEAS down!"

He was the best writing teacher I ever had.

So I started writing again. Since my last post here was in 2008, that feels pathetic, but I'm glad to be taking control of my life and doing something I love.

Getting my ideas down.

It's a novel. It's not Science Fiction or Fantasy. I have no idea where it's actually going to take me, but so far it's fun.

Well, it's only 262 words. I shouldn't get THAT excited. Ask me again in about 290 more pages, or 4 years, whichever comes first, how it's going.

The title - because that's all I had to start with really - Helen of Troy, New York

Wish me luck!
